Error 5013

Severity Level 16
Message Text

The master and model databases cannot have files added to them. ALTER DATABASE was aborted.

Explanation

This error occurs when you attempt to extend either the master or model databases by adding database files.

Action

Extend the master or model databases only when necessary. The master database will grow automatically, if needed. If there is no room on the disk drive where the master files reside, either delete other files to make more disk space or replace the disk drive with a larger disk drive. If you need to expand the model database, ensure that there is available disk space on the disk drive where the model data files currently reside.
